    Quiet, relaxing nature area with minimal facilities. I haven't found anyone who has caught any fish here and I have yet to try.

    Great place for a casual stroll, an easy hike, birding, fishing (catch and release), and picnicking. Dog friendly on leash with scoop. Bicycles allowed. Picnic tables and grills by lake at trailhead. Three and a half miles of trail through various habitats with an observation tower. Managed native habitats offer a variety of wildflowers and birds, including many waders -- frequently Roseate spoonbill. Florida scrub jay virtually guaranteed any morning you come to the little wood bridge with an offering of raw unsalted peanuts. Enjoy this little oasis and watch for gators!

    This preserve is special. Upon entry you will feel like you've left the city when you step in front of a modest lake with outlaying young Bald Cypress trees. In Spring time you are surrounded by an assortment of native flowers with fragrance (colors ranging the spectrum). Grills are provided at the front by the lake, as well as benches. The birds will put on a symphony for you without evening diving into the woods. Follow the trail that that grids out hashtag(pound, #) style through the park, as well as hashtag canals, and witness a wide range of small animals, insects, and birds. This place is a huge home for birds. Endangered red-headed woodpeckers, the endangered Blue Scrub Jay, red Cardinals, ospreys, the list goes on. On the East side you have a view tower over-looking a 1.5 mile pristine marsh full of lily pads, frogs, and wading birds such as the Sand-hill crane. This preserve is absolutely spectacular for wildlife photography. And it is a unknown gem and you will probably have much if not all of the park to yourself. Also, a terrific park for a high speed or even tranquil mountain-bike ride. It is a flat, level ride. This park is a good visit if you want some peace, and to input beauty into your memory bank.

    Great walk. You have cover and sun. No bugs, all flatland. Paths are hard sand, soft sand, and pine needles. No litter and no trash cans, maybe one by us 1. All straight trails, almost no marking but real hard to get lost. May see wildlife, snakes, water birds, small backyard birds, tortoise,gators, and on occasion dogs with owners. Wetlands, big lake, canopy pine woods, and scrub open habitat.

    Love this trail! Pathways were clear, no trash circulating the frequented areas freely. Very calm, my dog liked going very much!

    I give this preserve 1 star because there are no restrooms! I don't know why St. Lucie County has no restrooms or facilities at many large preserves or parks in St. Lucie County. Perhaps its because none of the managers of these properties use them! It makes no sense to have preserves this large and no where to use the bathroom if you have to go! Properties worth millions of dollars and the managers won't spend money to provide even port-o-potties at the parking areas! Shameful!

    I drive by the Indrio Preserve...daily. I've been wanting to stop by and take a look. I had the day off, decided to take the ride down the street. The Preserve is well kept, freshly mowed, trees and shrubs were trimmed back. I had no idea the lake is as big as it is. I was expecting maybe a small pond. But to my surprise...in a good way. It looks very clean. There are 2 picnic tables with charcoal grills near by. I walked a good distance into the preserve. It had started to thunder, I knew I didnt have much time. The lake is clear and looks deep. I went walking down the trail. Saw a Park Ranger. Which Im glad to see. He was on the walking bridge and he looked young. I said hello, he said hi, I told him I was trying to get back to the parking area before it started raining. He said. Yes Ma'm. Lol..cute. So I started a little jog. It was sprinkling and thunder, lightning was all around and getting worse. All of a sudden the sky opened up with a downpour of rain...I was soaked. I ran a little faster. I could see the picnic table, I was relieved to see the car. I will go back. Bring the kayak. Maybe try to walk the whole lake.

    Long, beautiful trails for biking, hiking or walking your dog. I mountain bike many places around the Treasure Coast and this is one of my favorites. My biking rating on a scale from 1-10 (easy to difficilt) would be about a 4. It's still a great workout!

    Indrio Savannahs Preserve has amazing views and a grid of trimmed trails on which to walk, jog or ride a bike. Part of the trail by the lake is flood prone. There is one observation tower in the park that gives about one mile of sight distance, which is great for bird and wildlife spotting. Bring a compass, drink, and bug spray, and proceed with caution on the trails.

    I love taking walks through the trails. The trail system is super easy to navigate (grid). The wildlife is always in show as well. I hope one day I will get some pics of the endangered Florida scrub Jay!
